This video explains all about 3D printing.

3D printing facts

The world of 3D printing is exciting. This industry is evolving at a very high speed. The first 3D printer was invented in 1983 by Chuck Hull. He invented a process called ‘stereolithography’. UV layers were used for solidification of photopolymer. It created 3D parts layer by layer. Now it has become the key industry. So many companies are trying to introduce the most innovative machine.
